In the music video for the Italian singer’s latest single, a bottle of Bottega Verde Òria eau de parfum can be seen. This 2025 fragrance features notes of saffron and vanilla.
Thanks to Lorenzo for submitting this post.
In June 2019 Madonna released God Control, a music video directed by Jonas Åkerlund which is a ferocious attack against the violence that characterises American society and its strenuous defense of the Second Amendment.
In the screenshot above the singer is getting ready to spend a night out. On her mirrored vanity there are two interesting perfume bottles.
The bottle with clear stopper on the far left is Robert Piguet Fracas extrait de parfum, one of Madonna’s favourite fragrances, a white floral (tuberose and jasmine) triumph created by Germaine Cellier and launched in 1948.
Behind Fracas there’s Jean Patou Moment Suprême housed in the Vacances bottle – rounded stopper and three gadroons. This amber floral fragrance, created by Henri Almeras, was launched in 1929.
Thanks to Reveur_etc for submitting this post and for the Patou ID.
In September 2020 the South Korean singer released a very stylish video for his single Open Mind. It’s not common to see fragrances featured in K-Pop music videos, so it was a nice surprise to see them here.
In close-up shots the front labels of bottles are covered but that hasn’t stopped me from identify them.
The first bottle from the left is by Diptyque. It’s impossible to tell what fragrance it houses but it could be an eau de parfum, judging from the dark glass.
In the background the white stopper of Creed Love in White can be seen.
The gold bottle unmistakenly contains another Creed product – Millésime Imperial.
The aqua blue bottle houses Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
Last but not least, on the far right there’s the hot red bottle of Tom Ford Lost Cherry.
This shot features some of the bottles we’ve just seen but there’s more: the bottle on the far right – another Diptyque product – is shown sideways, so it’s possible to identify it from the label.
This spiral design can be found on the back label of the eau de toilette Eau de Sens.
We also get a couple of shots where two tables with the perfumes are fully visible. On the left table there’s a bottle of Jo Malone Cologne Intense. Too bad the front label cannot be read, so we don’t know exactly what scent it is.
The last shot shows other perfume bottles not previously shown.
On the left table there’s Tom Ford Black Orchid.
In front of it there’s another Creed fragrance – Aventus.
The latest Kesha video is a fun one. The American singer plays a televangelist à la Dolly Parton, who’s unfortunately trapped into an abusive marriage with a horrible husband who doesn’t care about her and beats her up all the time. But she’ll soon know how to take her revenge on him. In the video, directed by Luke Gilford, there are two interesting scenes featuring beauty products.
In the screencap above, Kesha is in her dressing room; on her vanity there’s a can of L’Oreal Elnett Satin extra-strong hold hairspray.
But the most interesting moment is set in her house, where we can get a good look at her vanity.
The white fluted refillable atomiser is the super-romantic L’air du temps by Nina Ricci.
There’s also the eau de toilette version of Pasha de Cartier, a fresh spicy men’s fragrance created by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 1992. I like to think the televangelist – not her husband – wears it.
Such an eclectic perfume selection wouldn’t be such without a blast of white flowers! So here is Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt, the 1980s best seller created by Sophia Grojsman.
Another nod to the past is the aqua green tube of Clinique lipstick, a packaging now sadly discontinued.
Thanks to Marco Ortolano for telling me about this video and for the Vanderbilt id.
There are two beauty products by the tub where the singer is taking a bath.
The perfume bottle is a factice of Bijan Women eau de toilette, first launched in 1986.
As for the second bottle, I’m pretty sure it’s a vintage product by Lanvin. This round bottle with gold stopper usually housed perfumed talcum powder, body lotions and bath gels. I have found no evidence that a round matte white bottle was ever used, but the picture above can give us the hope it was.
There are toiletries and perfume bottles on the protagonist’s dressing table. Some of them are generic vanity bottles, but we can give a name to others. The tall ribbed bottle with gold cap, for example, is the Guerlain natural spray cologne bottle, used for different fragrances from 1964 to 1977.
Thanks to Annette Flaconnage for the id.
The latest music video by Charlotte Gainsbourg – Lying with You, from the album Rest – turns out to be an unexpected perfume lover mecca. Directed by Gainsbourg herself, it’s set in the apartment at 5 bis Rue de Verneuil (Paris) where her father, Serge Gainsbourg, lived. Soon to become a museum, it’s filled with objects that the French artist used and loved; among them, a massive amount of perfumes and toiletries.
In the screencap above, from left to right, there are two refillable atomisers by Guerlain – Chant d’Arômes in the white canister with leaf details and Shalimar with the blue arabesque pattern.
Next, there’s a bottle of Estee Lauder Aramis, created in 1966 by Bernard Chant.
The drop-shaped bottle is the flacon goutte by Guerlain. It was used for different perfumes, so it’s impossible to tell which one it contains.
There’s also a bottle of Lancôme Magie Noire, created by Gerard Goupy in 1978.
There are two body perfumes, too – the box and the shaker versions of Yves Saint Laurent Opium perfumed dusting powder.
The last bottle on the far right is the flacon abeilles by Guerlain.
There’s another Guerlain refillable atomiser, the one made of golden metal, launched in 1982. On the far right there’s a tall bottle of Murray & Lanman Florida Water cologne, first launched in 1808.
In the screencap above, there’s a bottle of Hermès Doblis, created by Guy Robert and launched in 1955. Next to it, a box of Santa Maria Novella soap: I do believe this is the vintage version of the almond soap.
Serge Gainsbourg’s signature perfume – Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme – is featured too. It was created in 1978 by Louis Monnet.
Another shot of the same perfume tray reveals the presence of more Guerlain products.
There’s the refillable atomiser of Eau Impériale.
Plus, four flacons quadrilobes and flacons bouchon coeur.
Lastly, there’s a vintage bottle of Garnier Birkin shampoo (or hair lotion). I wonder if Gainsbourg actually used it or just kept a bottle as a homage to his partner (and Charlotte’s mother) Jane Birkin.
Thanks to Vincent Legrudge for the Guerlain ids.
A bottle of Balenciaga Le Dix can be seen in a rare video for La Javanaise by Serge Gainsbourg, a song he wrote in 1963. This floral perfume was created by Francis Fabron and launched in 1947.
